"The single-story house was last sold in 1988 by Van Halen rock band brothers Eddie and Alex for $450,000. During the eight years the brothers owned the 3,367-square-foot home, purchased in 1980 for $221,000, they produced such hit tunes as the Grammy-nominated "Jump" (you knew where this was heading), "Dreams" and "Love Walks In.""
"The post-and-beam house was designed by Conrad Buff III and Donald Hensman, who helped popularize the architectural style following World War II. Buff & Hensman homes are still sought-after today."
"Walls of glass take in cityscape views while clerestory windows add natural light to the interiors. A patio, lawn and a swimming pool with a spa complete the half-acre grounds."
A single-story midcentury home in Pasadena is listed at $2.1 million. The 3,367-square-foot property was purchased by Van Halen brothers Eddie and Alex in 1980 for $221,000 and sold in 1988 for $450,000. During their eight-year ownership, they created hit songs including the Grammy-nominated "Jump."

The home features two wings: one with living spaces and another with four bedrooms, plus an office and three bathrooms. The half-acre grounds include walls of glass with cityscape views, clerestory windows, a patio, lawn, swimming pool with spa, and a gated brick-paved driveway with carport.
